other animals and birdies

[porthos]

hey everyone i have just joined the forum and have to say it looks like a very happy lovely place to be i have recently brought home 2 budgies (Maurice and Daphne) and love them dearly! they are beautiful and when i figure out how to put pics up i will, (i am not gifted with comps!) now i am here to talk budgies but do have other birds and was asked to introduce them here so here is the flock

we have Miss Caesar (added the Miss cause thought to be male and has recently laid eggs!) she is a crimson bellied conure, very sweet girl and a typical conure

Jimmie a female Senegal, Jim is a rescue from a charity who is not tame and aggressive, i recently had her hanging off my lip! but love her dearly and it took a year but she is friends with Caesar and they are now living together happily

George a red lored Amazon, George was given to me by someone who had birds but didn't have the time for him and the sad thing is he was dumped on them so we know nothing about him, don't know age, history anything, when he came to us he initially liked me and hated the partner but now loves him and i get bitten on a daily basis, he is unflighted prob due to being cage bound but not sure and he will run over to me bite me then run off laughing!!

Chilli is a Jenday conure who is also a rehome and came to us as he had screaming behavioural problems which we managed to curb, he doesn't know he is a bird, too humanised but he is the sweetest thing and loves to dance!

Aubrey is a cinnamon conure and her sister Tallulah a green cheek, they are a real delight, Tulu is very affectionate and Aubs is more independent but they are a funny pair and spend a lot of time play fighting with eachother!

Ivor is our Timneh grey and he is a young bird but has the disposition of an old man, he is a rehome and is a reall gent, he is happy to watch the world go by and has such a gentle soul

Noah is a double yellow headed amazon and only a babe, he is growing up well and is s sweet and i intend to make the most of this as when his hormones kick in he will prob be a nightmare!!

then we have bunnies, Mozart, Clem, Gerscwin, Strauss, Delilah and Flory

Guinea pigs, Cuthbert, Stilton and Rupert

and the dogs, Porthos, Dilly and Rufus

sorry that is an essay but like i say i look forward to sharing tales of Maurice and Daphne and am animal mad! i really do look forward to hearing all about you and yours

We always had a house full when my girls were young but we just have one dog and the buds now. My eldest girl has a houseful herself now, 2 cats, a dog, 3 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs a hamster and 15 fish. She also does small pet boarding and at busy times can have 20+ bunnies and piggies in the garden . Oh she has two children as well .

[suesbird]

I love animals but the only one I can not take to is a Guinea Pig, I don't like to touch them, but love hamsters, mice etc. Funny that!

I only have Jo, 3 very big Koi Carp and 15 goldfish in the pond who come to me when I tap on the side of the pond but swim away from the oh, good taste I say!

[porthos]

wow those pics are amazing, lovely animals you have there and thanks again for all the welcomes, well I would love to show you mine but I cant figure out how to put pics up on here yet!

[starlingqueen]

You have to upload them to an image hosting site like photobucket and them paste the bottom code on the list in your thread.

[porthos]

oh ok thanks for that!!
